South Korea has pardoned disgraced ex-President Park Geun-hye, the justice minister said on Friday, in a dramatic reprieve for the former leader who was jailed for 20 years in a sprawling corruption scandal.
Park was on a list of people receiving special amnesty, and "pardon was granted to heal social conflicts and restore the local community," Park Beom-kye told reporters.
